Nothing beats a good cup of joe, and no place does it better than Java House Coffee Bar. My only big gripe with the joint is the pricing. I understand why it's so expensive, but I also have a lot on my plate right now. My recent divorce with Janet has forced me to use the little savings I have left to pay for a lawyer, Allen P. Johnson, who is NOT cheap. Allen is paying upwards of $600 per hour per session and it has been milking my bank account bone dry. So now both Allen P. Johnson and Janet are both getting on my nerves about this whole divorce situation and it has obviously been stressing me out. So when I go to get a simple hazelnut latte (the one thing that calms me down in times of stress) and the gal behind the counter says: "that'll be $7.50 please," I just felt defeated. First Janet, then Allen P. Johnson, and now Java House Coffee Bar are trying to steal my savings. Anyways, if I had to recommend something, it'd be the Hazelnut Latte. Delish! read more

It's a cute coffee shop in a really beautiful area! The staff were/are super nice and pleasant especially for first thing in the morning. Blueberry muffin was fresh and tasty a little dense but overall super good. Coffee and tea were good all around! Recommend Maho and Neapolitan!! read more

Great Coffee, Love it how fast it was to make and very interesting that they use cold brew and heat it up rather than making hot coffee then chilling it. Very fast service, not even a two minute wait, There was no line though. I really like the atmosphere and the music isn't blaring loud Overall great place for coffee read more

I really wanted to love this place. The drinks on their Instagram look so good and I loved that it looked like they were all served in mugs if you were staying in the shop to enjoy. I got there and told the man working that I had never been so asked if there was something he would recommend. He didn't seem much interested in helping me out so I just went with a cappuccino. Unfortunately, it was served in a to go cup. I saw most other tables getting their drinks in a glass mug served on a board. My drink was also lukewarm. I'll give them another try but ask for a mug and it to be hot next time I go. read more

I enjoyed the contemporary feel of the interior of Java House, as we sat at the bar watching the barista work. I wanna say it has a somewhat hipster? feel to the place that I like. As for the coffee and pastries, very yummy. You can order the specials as a hot drink or a frappucino... I ordered the Tedster and my son had the Workaholic frappucino.. But I made him trade, lol. His was so much sweeter. He said that when he got the Tedster as a frap it was sweeter too, so just an FYI, the drinks are definitely different hot to cold. So if you like them both, voila! You have two favorites in one special! I did try the lemon/blueberry scone headed to and it was tasty, but I might have them warm it more next time. I think if have to try this place a couple more times to really get the feel of whether it's a solid four or deserves more. Will update upon my next visit! read more

I love it here. Not just because it's in the location where I used to get my hair done (although that does give it a nostalgia vote), but also because it's different from other coffee houses. Everything they do here is cold brew. That doesn't mean you can't get hot coffee, lattes, etc. (Did you know you can drink cold brew hot? Me either!) it's super smooth. As someone who drinks half and half with a little bit of coffee, I found I didn't have to add nearly as much of the white stuff to drink it. You can also buy a carafe and then get it filled. They have lots of little rooms that you can rent for book clubs, meetings, etc. The only drawback here is that there's not a ton of seating. And there's not nearly enough places to plug in your laptop or charge your phone. I am super glad it doesn't smell like hair color and perm anymore. read more

Java House never disappoints! Never had a drink I didn't like. The signature and seasonal drinks are always spectacular, and the regular cold brew is fire and I love that they have sugar free syrup options. Also, you can't beat the cozy-industrial atmosphere which is great for hanging out, working, or studying. Definitely a top tier place! read more

So, whenever I see an independent coffee shop, or basically any Non-Starbucks shop, I tend to gravitate to it. I have nothing against Starbucks - they practically get a weekly ACH withdrawal from my paycheck. I just like to remember the pre-Covid days when these smaller cafes could survive. The Java House specializes in cold brew/Nitro brew offerings. If you're into that, as I am, then this is the place for you. The service has always been good, and the prices (while a tad on the high side) are still reasonable. read more

I love me some cold brew!!! Iced coffee or cold coffee all day everyday. I've heard this place is owned by a local in the area and I stopped in to try some coffee of course. I am a big fan of the Vanilla sweet cream cold brew from Starbucks so in an attempt to find it at a local place was nice to try! I let the barista know, but was disappointed to find out they were all out of vanilla. Instead I got a cold brew with some hazelnut flavoring and added my own cream and sugar and woah, the stuff is definitely bitter (so if you like black coffee, this is for you) I had to add lots of love to my cold brew but my guest got one of their speciality drinks. After having tried theirs I could see why it is a speciality drink cause it was delicious! Although I was disappointed with my drink (I couldn't end up finishing it, it left such a bitter taste) I really enjoyed the drink my guest got. I hope to come back again when they have vanilla and hopefully with a more informed barista on duty read more

Great place to chill, grab a cup of coffee, and even have meetings in one of their private rooms. The interior is pretty spot. Kind of rustic modern and definitely has that modern vibe. If you're a cold brew fan then this place is your nirvana. You can rent out one of their private rooms for a morning business meeting or a study session with your friends. There's a rental cost which is pretty nominal while drinking some quality coffee. read more

This place reminds me of the art of FRIENDS for some reason! Ha! Great new addition to the clay terrace family. Serving up nitro coffee on tap. Beautiful building, great selection of drinks, and limited food items. Definitely a place to come have a drink not so much a meal. I got the Columbian nitro, it has hints of carnal and cocoa, just delicious! I'm coming back to try one of their signature drinks, hockey mom...hibiscus and coconut! Oh and they're saving the planet with paper straws ! read more

Already planning my next trip back here! I LOVED the space and feel of this coffee bar. I got an iced coffee with the Ethiopian roast (their light roast), SF caramel and heavy cream. It was smooth and delicious. They have a couple SF syrup options which is a huge positive for me. They have a ton of other delicious looking drinks that I can't wait to try once I'm off my sugar-free diet. Service was quick and the women working behind the counter were super nice. I came in around 8:15 am on a Saturday morning and by 9:00 am there was a pretty steady line. This is the perfect place to bring your laptop to get work done. I can't wait to come back in the near future! read more

Java House - Iced coffee with SF caramel and heavy cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Just as you'd expect from a coffee house in Carmel's Clay Terrace, this place is upscale. That being said, it's not "fancy" per se but it is trendy and actually pretty hip (something maybe not always associated with Carmel). It is sunny and warm, making it a great place to get some work done. There are several rooms available for group meetings (including white boards and large tables for brainstorming and collaboration). There are some smaller rooms available as well that can seat two or three people. Now, the coffee. I tried the Tedster, a salty Carmel dessert in a coffee costume. The coffee was not overpowering. In fact, I would have liked to have more of the coffee flavor come through. But the whipped cream? Um yes...let me have some of that every day for the rest of my life. Get in my belly! All of the coffees are cold-brewed and on tap. The shop has what reminds me of a bar with the coffee coming from taps on the wall. Not a fan of the heavily caloric, sweet drinks? No worries! You can get just a standard cup here. Of course, there are too many other options that are tempting me to try before I go the usual black coffee route. I'll probably try the Hockey Wife next then the Brewski. Each "signature" drink will run you $6, hot or cold. That's a bit steep for not a lot of coffee (more ice and whipped cream than actual coffee in the iced version) but you're paying for the taste and aesthetic here. I will definitely be back! And now that I've found the entrance to the store (which actually was harder than it should have been), I'll be able to get there even faster. Tip: the entrance is right next to Patachou. If you map it, it looks like it is next to Soma and Loft: it's not! Head towards Patachou and you'll see it. read more

Love. This. Coffee. Shop. My friend and I drove 40 minutes to get here - and I would do it again. I got an iced decaf tiramisu mocha and really enjoyed it. There was not a strong coffee flavor, but I'm assuming that's because I had to go decaf. My friend also tried a specialty drink and said she liked it but it was sweeter than she prefers. On top of the delicious and unique drinks, the atmosphere is perfect. I appreciate the "convo corners" - made me feel like I could bring my newborn with me and enjoy coffee with friends and not disturb anyone. The staff was also super friendly and helpful. I seriously cannot wait to come back here!! read more

Excellent Service. Love the concept, the rooms to rent are a great idea. The decor and staff are inviting and chill. Definitely a great place to hangout. The Coffee was AMAZING. Got a Maho blended and it was smooth sweet and satisfying. We also tried the Brewski hot and it was perfect for this snowy day. The treats were from local bakeries. We tried the blueberry lemon scone and the Belgian waffle. They were the perfect back up dancers to the star of the show. If you're over starbucks and need a change in your coffee routine.

Great spot and addition to clay terrace! This new trend of the cold brew is full force here and people are living it! The grand opening was a little crowded, I intended to get some work done while I checked it out, but it was amazing to see the turn out of people! They have many tables set up for coffee meetups and work-from-homers, a little lounge area, and a trendy vibe. Love the ambience and friendly staff! Can't wait to be back soon. read more

Amazing cold brew. Stopped in today to try them (they are off the Main Street and down by dicks sporting goods in the north side of the street). I got the Columbia nitro cold brew, smooth taste, no bitterness, very enjoyable. Wife ordered the Honey Baby cold: she said it was amazing, she's already saying she wants a second one :). Slightly sweetened and the cinnamon added a nice extra note. Son1: Ethiopian nitro, he said he liked it (not a man of many words :). Son2: Sumitra nitro, a nice bold flavor with a smooth finish. He prefers the stronger taste over the Columbia. The location is really nice with lots of seating and some conference areas you can rent. I will be back...maybe tonight read more

My go to is the Tedster. It's a salted carmel cold brew or you can get it as a latte. It is a nice balance of coffee and sweet. The cold brew definitely has a nice kick to it so if you're in the Carmel Clay area and need a pick me up and/or place to work, it's a great place. You can even reserve your own room if you need it to be a little quieter. read more

Great and modern coffee shop, it's a nice place for a talk with friends or a metting.

Also they have a small rooms/offices inside the coffee shop, I think a conference room too, sofas and high tables too. Great place I would recommend this to anyone who wants to relax, talk and have a good time!! read more

Came for the opening day. They will let you try the cold brews, which are fantastic. I crave nitro cold brews now. About $5 for grande size. New and exciting coffee place within Clay Terrace.

What a gem! The cold brew process really makes this coffee better than the rest - whether you're drinking coffee over ice, nitro, hot, or a specialty beverage it just tastes better. I love the Nitro Sumatran Cold Brew with Splenda Stevia or the Honey Baby with Sumatran Blend. Ordering here is a little different than other coffee shops in that you pick your brew (sumatran, decaf, etc) then how you want it (cold, hot, nitro), then your style (cappuccino, black over ice), but this makes the drink seem extra special for you - and allows countless combos from the most basic to the most elaborate! The staff is so friendly and helpful and prices are on par with other coffee shops. There are snacks available for purchase but they do not prepare food on-site. Coffee can be purchased to-go in a growler - or in retail packs as dual-use pods (pour over ice or use in Keurig) & bottles. Seating is ample and WiFi is available. Rooms are also available to rent for co-working or secluded study spaces. Parking is easy - just behind the building next to Dick's Sporting Goods at Clay Terrace. read more

I'm a big fan of local coffee shops and this one has all the cool vibes! They have the majority of their coffee and teas on tap so it feels like a bar, a coffee bar. Their forte is cold brewed coffee and they do a damn good job of it. You can create your own drink or order one of their specialties. All of the options come cold or hot as well. We got the honey baby served hot. It was rather tasty, a little on the sweet side. They also have conference rooms and places to rent for work space if you need to meet someone for a meeting. read more

Such a fun little coffee shop! Stopped by for a quick coffee during a recent visit to the area, and loved the location, space, and vibe. So much seating, a ton of outlets, and plenty of space so your group can stay distance. I firmly believe you can tell the true quality of a coffee shop by their black coffee, so I got a hot Ethiopian coffee and wasn't disappointed! Light roast that with undertones that woke me right up. They soak all of their coffee beans in cold water, which helps cut the acidity and provides a rich, smooth flavor. For food - they have an assortment of pastries and sweets that I think are made in house? They also have options for a sausage breakfast sandwich and egg white wrap ($5 each). The sausage was flavorful and juicy, cheese was delicious and the English muffin was crispy. If i lived close by this would definitely be a go to place for me! read more

I walked by this coffee shop at the most perfect time. I was craving a coffee and was going to walk down to Starbucks. Their cold brew was so good!

When I'm in Carmel I will come back! read more

Java house has exploded in the Indy area and for good reason. They have a nice selection of teas and coffees as well as a seasonal menu (however would love to see a more extensive one).

I really enjoy this this spot. Great flavor and perfect ambience. We enjoy going here on weekends to just relax. Space is tight at times but I've rented a room for an hour at $15 to have some privacy and work on the laptop. It seems a bit high to rent but needed it for a project. When you use it for more than an hour, they should give you a discounted price for second hour. I could see myself meeting clients here more often if they looked at that kind of a discounted program or rewards point system. The coffee is great too! read more

Such a cool place! Beautiful wood and warm brick decor with lots of pretty succulents staggered throughout. Free WiFi (Sweet!) and a chill not too loud music playlist. They also have a meeting room upstairs that is available to rent. I ordered the iced Workaholic. It's a yummy blend of cold brew coffee, maple, and almond milk. It has faint hint of sweetness with a very smooth creamy finish. Delish! The baristas were warm, welcoming, and super friendly. If you haven't stopped in yet you should definitely give them a try! read more

This pains me but I have to be honest. I ordered my usual drink at any coffee shop, iced latte with oat milk and honey. It was majority oatmilk with barely a taste of coffee and what I did taste of coffee was pretty bad. I ordered a caramel mocha frappe for my aunt and she loved it, so not all is bad! Great aesthetics inside, music not too loud. Friendly Staff. I just wouldn't recommend any latte. read more

WOW! Full rift on cold brew coffee craft, a dazzling and clean home spun remodeled barn vibe, feels like a family reunion with all the fun cousins. I loved this from the first step in, very friendly staff, smart and original brews with plenty to please everyone, lots of stuff to try. So much space! There's a group room for quieter (or noisier) studying which is good and well as it got very busy and sparkly with vocal conversations by time I headed out around 5. I wish there was one near me in Lafayette! I went for one of the specialty drinks but suddenly realized upon being asked by the great gal that it wasn't coffee but tea. Switched up, not a problem at all due to the easy going ways here, to a raspberry latte. Look at the photo! That cream, what is that stuff? Milk infused gold? Sitting on top like a thick luscious hat, the whole mix was a tad sweet for me but the cream helped balance it out. I'll definitely be back! Great to have free parking in the garage and another solid coffee spot in Carmel. read more

Stopped by this morning and it was the perfect pickup on a rainy day. We got the Tedster and the seasonal Bonfire. Both their signature and seasonal come in both hot or cold. I got the Tedster cold with an incredible salted whipped cream on top! We also got the Bonfire hot which tasted exactly how you'd image. Both drinks were truly delicious, we'll definitely be back to check of their cold brew. read more

Java House - Salted Caramel Tedster - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Super awesome concept! You first select the type of coffee, then if you want it hot, cold, or nitro. But since this is a new business you would think the employees would explain the different types of coffee or at least ask if we had been in before as we stare at the menu for several minutes. I wish there was a short explanation to each flavor (Columbian, Ethiopian, and Sumatran). I checked in on Yelp and saw the 10% off coupon- sweet! I showed it to the cashier before ordering and then when I got my receipt I noticed the discount was never applied. Ugh. I decided on a flight of 4 different cold brews ($7). The barista wrote down each one on the chalkboard and brought it out to our table. Perfect afternoon refresher to split between the two of us. Now that I tried each flavor, I now know that I prefer the Columbian and Ethiopian cold brews. I would probably order a latte next time and add a flavoring of caramel if possible. We didn't see it on the menu if you could order drinks with pumps of caramel or chocolate but that is typically what I prefer. Also, their specialty drinks sound great! I will definitely be back to try one soon. So overall, the menu board is simple yet leaves out things that the employees should be able to explain without hesitation. Our flight of coffee was tasty and I'm glad we ordered it on our first visit. I also really like the vibe inside the shop with the neat decor and meeting rooms. Can't wait to try some more soon! read more
